The DH 86 was a four engined development of the D.H.84 Dragon, developed in 1933 to meet an order by the Australian QANTAS for an airliner to fly the Singapore to Australia route.
A number were operated by various military services.
A total of 62 were built.
The DH 86 had a busy career until eight were impressed into RAAF service from late 1939.
A total of six DH 86 aircraft flew with the Fleet Air Arm, all were either ex RAF (2) or impressed (4).
The first, DH 86 X9442 joined 782 squadron from April 1940 at Donibristle. The other aircraft joined the squadron later in 1940.
Various aircraft were lost, AX841 was destroyed by enemy aircraft on the ground at Lee on Solent on 16 July 1940, and AX840 was lost whilst flying near Bell Rock when on a training excercise by gunfire from a Royal Navy minesweeper over a mile away on 8 July 1942.

3. [ About the installation ]
The airframe must copy the \DH86 Express folder as it is in the Aircraft folder of FS2002 or FS2004.
Please copy all files in the \gauges folder onto the gauge in the Gauges folder of FS2002 or FS2004.
A general gauge is saved for the gauge bundled this time.
The gauges of GPS are not bundled.
Please setup it by yourself.

4. [ About the operations ]
Shift+"E" = EXIT Door Open/Shut
A special key operation is not used for this model.

5. [ About free software ]
All aircraft that I made are free software.
The reprint and the repaint may go freely.
However, please defend the following conditions.
1.The change in contents of this file is prohibited.
(Please distribute it like the Zip file of the current state when distributing it. )
2.Please neither reverse-assembly nor never remodel(convert) it of the aircraft model.
and don't covert my airframe for CFS Series.
3.Please don't bundle my airframe(MDL file) in the package of your works when you open the repaint to the public.
(Please open only the texture to the public. )
4.Don't use DXT format for making texture.
Please make it by the format that everyone can change.
It is necessary to be able to read and change with usual drawing software.
5.It is prohibited to bundle and to open a new panel to the public to my aircraft model.
(Please open only the panel to the public.
It is included in this file, and remodeling the panel that uses the panel background and the change in the panel background are prohibited. )

6. [ About the directions point in FS2004 and FSX]
This aircraft model is made by using FSDS Ver2.24.
Therefore, it is possible to play basically in FS2004(FS9) and FSX(FS10).
However........!!
In FS2004.
For a wide large-scale aircraft, the distortion is caused and the phenomenon of the aerofoil tip's disappearing happens in the spot shooting mode.
If this phenomenon happens, Please switch to the spot shooting mode by using other small aircraft.
Afterwards, if this aircraft is selected, it is normally displayed.
And........
In FSX.
Because gauges do not correspond to FSX, the gauges in the cockpit are not displayed.
Please you looks for a suitable gauges and setup Panel.cfg by yourself.
Sorry...............
I like military aircrafts. Especially, fighter!!
But, It is because the shape is unique and the manoeuverability is good.
I like aircraft that can freely fly in the big sky.
However............I hate war and combatting.
When I thinks the airframe that I made launches the bullet and the missile, I become scary.
Therefore, I'm prohibiting convert of my airframe for CFS.
If it is possible, I am wishing my airframe not to be used in CFS.
Though you might be said "Because it's simulation world"..........
Please..........Please.......
